Trump's Second Administration Might REALLY Soon Be for the Birds!

Last edited Thu Feb 6, 2025, 11:36 PM - Edit history (3)

Two animal-to-human transmissions of bird flu have so far been been verified, the latest in Nevada. If this develops into a pandemic, as the World Health Organization has confirmed it has the potential to do, it could prove devastating for a country like ours that has foolishly severed its ties with them. Unfortunately, It may also soon have as its Secretary of Health an anti-science and ant-vaxxer extremist (not a scientist), and on staff a holdover from Trump' s Covid era personnel who'd been in favor of higher death tolls from the virus in order to achieve herd immunutity quicker. Plus, we have the same leader who had politicized and botched the Covid 19 pandemic response and thus was responsible for the lives of tens of thousands of Americans. Alarmingly, the future health of this nation does not look promising.

With the ineptitude of this administration the next pandemic will cost many unnecessary lives.

I was going to throw them out but now I realize we are going to be a sick country in the near future and we have no leadership to keep us people safe.

We’re on our own from now on. I don’t expect any federal government help ever again. It so sad that our country and democracy is dead now. And we won’t have any more elections. I live in California and hope we can fight him off and sustain ourselves and be self sufficient.
